Eighth Annual
"A Celebration of Washington Wines"
Glasses were hoisted at this year’s gala to toast the bid that put net proceeds raised over the event’s eight years over the $1 million-dollar mark. Proceeds support Washington State University’s Viticulture and Enology Program and have helped establish an endowed chair to head the program.

Dan Bernardo, dean of the WSU College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences, extended a special thanks to Ted Baseler, the president and CEO of Ste. Michelle Wine Estates and a Cougar alumnus, for once again holding the gala dinner and auction at the winery.
”Each year our auction demonstrates the strong support in the wine community for what we want to achieve at WSU," said Baseler. "This is the road to building a world-class program."
Thank you to all who have donated and participated in this successful event.
Thanks to Northwest Farm Credit Services for sponsoring the 2009 Silent Auction
